Understanding Your Scores

The National Board Certification scoring process has been developed and is reviewed annually to ensure that your response receives a reliable, accurate, and fair evaluation.  This section provides information about the process, tips and tools to clearly understand the NBPTS scoring process.  Download your scoring guide.

The Scoring Process

Be assured that your portfolio entries and assessment center exercises are evaluated fairly and accurately, according to a rigorous and established scoring process. 

Evidence-Based Scoring

All scoring is based on the evidence you submit, and each source offers an opportunity to see you at work and to evaluate your practice in light of conscious, analytical and reflective criteria. Your work will be scored by NBPTS-trained assessors who evaluate your evidence in light of the standards. No one approach to teaching or school counseling is mandated or rewarded by the scoring process.

Scored By Your Peers

Each assessor scores only a portion of a candidate’s submission. A certain percentage of entries are scored independently by two different assessors. This ensures that different assessors have reviewed each component of each candidate's work. Once your complete National Board Certification assessment has been submitted, it is evaluated by at least 12 classroom teachers who must meet the same eligibility requirements as a candidate.
